Question

A 3-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled Week (w) with entries 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Column 2 is labeled Plant 1 (h) with entries 2.5, 2.9, 3.1, 3.5, 3.9. Column 3 is labeled Plant 2 (h) with entries 2.5, 2.7, 2.9, 3.1, 3.3. Plant 1: h = 2.5 + StartFraction 4 Over 10 EndFraction w. Plant 2: h = 2.5 + one-fifth w. What statements can be supported by data from the table? Check all that apply. The table shows a partial representation of the equations. (2, 3.1) is an ordered pair from the table. Plant 1 grew faster than Plant 2. Both plants died at week 4.

Answer 1

Plant 1 grew faster than Plant 2

Explanation:

Comparing the data in the table, we conclude that Plant 1 has a faster growth rate than Plant 2. Plant 1 has a height of 3.9 while Plant 2 has a height of 3.3 in week 4 from which we come to know that Plant 1 grew faster than Plant 1 as both in week 0 were planted at the same height i.e. 2.5.
